Hi!
What you expected to happen?
I tried to use the terminal feature with my screen reader software. I think it will work, because terminal is text based, and my screen reader can interpret it.
What happened?
Not worked, screen reader can't read the terminal output text.
Because the output is not in text format
The output is on a canvas / image. And screen reader can't interpret it. I can run an OCR software, but its not a reliable solution.
How to reproduce it?
Try the terminal feature with jaws for windows, or nvda screen reader software.
Anything else we need to know?
I used jaws for windows as my screen reader. But nvda will work too.
The solution is replace the terminal image output to text instead, or add an option to switch on text output instead the image/canvas mode.
